Shocktober 2016 is off to a great start!

Thanks everyone for reading my first ten posts of the month – it’s Halloween season, and every day I am sharing another “Shocktober” classic!

Day #1 got off to a rousing start with “The Texas Chainsaw Massacre” – you can read some great trivia about this seminal film here:

I kept it on the classics the first few days, which leads to America’s favorite “Scream Queen!”

Jaime Lee Curtis starred in what many feel is the greatest “Halloween” movie ever – because, well it is called “Halloween!”

I offered up some fun trivia on the film, which you can see here:

Eli Roth paid homage to one of the world’s most shocking films on day #4 – the “under-stated” horror classic:

I needed a break from “shocking” – so I went with a different kind of Halloween thrill:

Yes, there are some great Halloween movies that also featured naked Vampires! See all you need to see right here!

This Halloween season, a real life creepiness is underway – real creepy clown sightings!

Of course, some movies are “great” films, but boy, are they wildly entertaining!

“Pieces” is certainly not a perfect film, but the blu-ray includes a bonus documentary about New York’s notorious 42nd street of the 70’s – see it here:
